Description This is a self-portrait-ish for #YouArePart 's latest challenge... and for myself to reflect upon.

I have my colours and ashes, my happy and dark days, my inspirations and blanks, my different kinds of crazy. My hands are the strongest and the most vulnerable part of me. They have damaged me, but they have been there for things I am proud of myself for doing. They are what leads me to art, to music, to blood and to what keeps me in balance.
They work together but on their own, a mirror image of the person I need to be and try my hardest to.

Eh, I can't explain it. I'm awful at that, even in writing. But you will probably see this, and think something completely different to what I do. We all have different views of everything, after all, and you will have different views of me.

I really enjoy both the picture and the writing. The sketchiness of the picture itself is rather endearing, coupled with the small, light, dainty burst of color c:

I like when people can grasp their flaws and darker days. Its a good thing to do.

This is really cool! I like how the black and white has this gradient that turns into color

Thankyou! Usually I'm utterly and completely horrible at it, but as I was actually supposed to draw my hand as it is (SAUSAGE FINGERS NYERR :I) I've done alright on this one. c:
